How to Tell if You Are a Candidate for Dental Implants

There are many
benefits of choosing dental implants, and if patients are missing one or more
teeth, they should consider this long-lasting and practical solution. For dental implants in Miami, FL, trust the
professionals at South Florida Periodontics and Dental Implants. Dr. Scott Ross
and Dr. Bradley Ross specialize in periodontal care and treatment of gum
disease, tooth replacement services, and gum grafting procedures.

Ideal Dental Implant Candidates

A dental implant
restored tooth is the next best thing to a natural, healthy tooth. Unfortunately,
not everyone is an ideal candidate for dental implants. Here at South Florida
Periodontics and Dental Implants, we can evaluate patients to determine if they
are a good fit. In addition to having healthy teeth and gums, ideal dental
implant candidates:

·
Have sufficient bone density to support the dental
implant
·
Are non-smoking, or are prepared to stop during the
treatment process
·
Have not had treatment with bisphosphonate
medications
·
Are committed to good oral hygiene
·
Have bone density adequate to maintain the dental
implant

Implant therapy
involves a team composed of a periodontist trained in implant placement who
places the dental implant and a restorative dentist who makes the crown.

Dental Implant Costs

Dental implants are frequently more expensive than other conventional
alternatives. However, the dental
implant cost varies depending on the region and who is performing the
procedure. Other factors that affect the cost include:

·
Surgeon or dentist that is
selected
·
Type of procedure and
implant
·
Which teeth and how many
need replacement
·
The number of implants
required to support the teeth
·
The amount of insurance
coverage

No two patients or their customized dental implant treatment plans are
alike. We will be able to provide an estimate of costs after we perform an
initial evaluation and assessment.
